NOVA – Alien Planets Revealed; Journey of the Universe (2011)

I have listed a few of the better movies/shows which I have watched in the past month.

Nova – Alien Planets Revealed – Documentary about the discoveries of the Kepler Planet Hunter Telescope

Journey of the Universe (2011) – Grand overview and insights into all of science. Quote from synopsis:

Using his skills as a masterful storyteller, Swimme connects such big picture issues as the birth of the cosmos 14 billion years ago to the invisible frontiers of the human genome as well as to our current impact on Earths evolutionary dynamics. Through his engaging and thoughtful observations audiences everywhere will discover the profound role we play in this intricate web of life.

Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy – Kip S. Thorne

It has been a long time since I read a book on astrophysics and I am now interested in Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy, by Kip S. Thorne. I hope this book will be thought provoking and fun to read.

The Evolution of Physics – Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld

One of the next books I will be reading is The Evolution of Physics by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld. Even though the book was published in the 1960’s, most people seem to be in agreement that the book is still a must read for anyone interested in physics and the mind of Einstein.

Our Mathematical Universe – Max Tegmark

Max Tegmark’s book, Our Mathematical Universe, takes a deep look at the physical world and shows readers the importance of math throughout the universe. An interesting book regardless of your own personal beliefs.

Structural Harmony of Systems – Eduard Soroko

Today, I read some interesting things on harmony mathematics. Here is a remarkable quote from a guy named Eduard Soroko (I can not find a Wikipedia entry on him):
“The Generalized Golden Proportions are invariants, which allow for natural systems in process of their self-organization to find harmonious structure, stationary regime of their existence, structural and functional stability.”

 

Here is a link to the paper which contains this quote: Structural Harmony of Systems. I want to find more papers and information on this “Belarusian philosopher.”
